[QUOTE="Bhaal, post: 568753, member: 8702"] I can't really offer any help to your problem, but I had a question for you if you don't mind. I have a player with a cleric who is very close to getting his first Hunter of the Dead level, and he plans to take it all the way. My question is how did the PrC work out for both you and its player? Looking over it, it seems awfully good if undead are a recurring theme in the campaign, but otherwise it is a fighter without bonus feats, a smaller hit die, and some low level (mostly undead-oriented) spells. I've been considering if it's too underpowered in general scenarios, and what to do about it if anything. I guess my concern is the player will be stuck with a one-trick pony, and will only feel like he's "pulling his weight" in encounters dealing with undead. I suppose the fighter BAB is nice, but he's going to permenantly lose out on 5th level and higher spells. Also clerics are already pretty darn powerful against undead, so his PrC abilities seem like sort of overkill. Any thoughts into how the class played out for both the DM and PC? Any suggested house-rules or other thoughts I should take into consideration for the DMing with the class? For the record, the campaign they're in has undead tied into the plot, but really only at a couple key points. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
